4:02 Fun Fact: You might notice that in the final movie there's more dialog here, that's because, one day when Howard and Alan played the song for Roger Allers, one of the writers of Beauty and the Beast, he said he loved it, except for this part here. He felt it needed more going on so Howard told Alan to play it again, and told Roger to just say whatever popped into his head, and so the rest of the lyrics were made up on the spot.
My fav song of all time. I can hear the passion in the composers for the story and I am glad the heads at Disney didn’t laugh at him. The song reveals so much about the town and I related with Belle so much!!!
The fact Howard ashman really didn’t want to do this movie but Disney begged him to (and would pay him) and he put THIS much effort in?!? King behaviour.
Mr. Ashman probably had been HIV+ for at least 7-9years at this point. The averige incubation period without real symptoms is that. But then when it progress to AIDS the person starts to have many kind of symptoms and that's when they usually got tested in the early years of the pandemic. So what you meant was that mr. Ashman had been living with AIDS probably about 2years at this point. And that is no way a short time. He was of those who had determination and will to carry on and live as long as he could. He was a very special human being: strong and brave.
This record is priceless! So this is the demo that they worried about being rejected by Disney... :)

Ello Perkins!🙋🏼♀️
The lyrics wasn't revised at all. What a masterpiece.
They actually revised it from “Little town, just a quiet village...” to “Little town, it’s a quiet village...” Heavy editing haha

Yeah I think he was set on doing Aladdin and Disney begged him to help get Beauty & the Beast back on track by making it a musical.
hey, when it comes to Disney, you either go big or go home
It pleasure to hear Howard sing Belle,Paige was doing a great jobs on recording this song with Howard
Surprisingly Howard Ashman still had his singing voice because he was already two years HIV positive. And as it progressed he began to lose his voice.
El compromiso con su trabajo y su seguridad de lo que queria cuando trajaba de forma creativa son ejemplos a seguir.
